The Black Knight

I'm downloading it right now. Even if it doesn't do that it will certnaly help to make mine better ;)

I'll probably edit my texture after seeing jojjo's....Those look to good to be real!

I cannot believe you have never seen any of Jojjo's work :O he's a true legend when it comes to armors... and weapons... and any other thing to do with meshes and textures.

 

To be quite honest his work is what inspired me to start modding in the first place and his LichKing/DreadNaught armor are by far my favourites :P

I remember in a necro dungeon there was a tapestry that behaved exactly like cloth.

 

Is there anyway to attach something like that to a specific bone,

or will the fact it's armor completely negate that?

 

I'm sure it would clip through the body constantly and involve a real performance hit,

but just proof something like this could be done would be awesome. I had the same thought

when I saw the thread about the whip and remembered the havok-ed vines. I have no ability

in this area, though, so I can't even test my ideas.

 

Also, this is only slightly related, but it is unbelievably awesome: Link

 

Watch the demo vid.

Well when it comes to capes Clipping is almost impossible to resolve... even the Lichking armour has some clippings with the cape but that doesn't even matter anyway all that matters is the awesomeness :D

Well, i've acctualy seen the Lich king armor mod before but i have never downloaded it. Some posts ago i mentioned that there are better armors on the nexus: I was thinking of jojjo's :)

Those models are top quality realy, but i wanted to see the textures and hopefuly get the idea of how to improve mine.

 

...i realy suck at texturing. I don't know how to make good looking details (like those white stripes i made on my textures...they are not nice enough-9

[L33Nexus]

So do i... reason is because i just texture the Lazy way but Jojjo textures the proper way you now cutting parts of his mesh up placing them neatly ready to be Unwrapped.

 

I've heard of the style of texturing but i just really couldn't be bothered with it, reason is because I'm only doing weapons it doesn't matter, whereas some armours need that improvement.

[Unavi]

Yeah, He defently bakes his textures and then finishes them in PS. I've been learning how to do that and i used this tehniques here on the Black Knight. But i haven't baked the normals which, by the way, were made with your help :D (i'd give you a second kudo for that)

 

The UV mapping is a *****. Ruins everything xD I've been trying ot make clean UV but i too am not imune to lazyness and no-time so sometimes i just made a few seams and unrapped onto a texture that was meant for a totaly different part of the armor. I'm getting the feeling that i'll have to rework all the textures again.

[L33Nexus]

XD me to fair enough i have a good mind of the technique like i know how to do it but it's just boring XD

 

Yeah all i do is use project from view then fiddle with the UV mapping getting it into the correct places and thats it :P

So, has anyone played Dante's Inferno yet? I got the game today and it's really good, although it does love to show alot of boob XD

 

Anyway, I'm waiting on Zpropero my hero to get that tested for me so it's ready for upload to Nexus :D

Thank you for the comments. Yes i am proud of it, but i'm afraid some of you will be disapointed when you will be able to play it. It's my first armor(complex) and it's no where near close in quality to some other here on the nexus, but hey, i like it and i hope to some extend you will like it to. :)

 

Well, only now I got to check this topic...and wow. I have no tip or constructive criticism this time, I'm afraid, but I must say that the helm is looking epic. That alone made my day. I doubt I'll be disappointed by the armor, since It's by far better than anything I'd ever expect. :smile:

 

As for the cape, a moving one would be awesome...but is that achievable? Wouldn't that require some sort of extra 'limb' on the character's body? I'm no programmer, much less a modder, so I might as well be wrong.

 

And, if you were thinking about making a quest...perhaps it would be nice to fight the black knight himself in a duel? He would be just as hard to fight as Jyggalag or Umaril, of course. If anyone here ever played 'FE: path of radiance', you might as well remember that he refused to be aided in combat against Ike, so I assume he is evil but at least a warrior that follows a code of honor or something similar, so it would make sense that he would want a duel. ;)
